validity: when something is acceptable and can take importance in my life because I find it worth while

Everyone finds purpose in different things.  Sometimes I think of myself as pretty lame because I'm not as aware of certain things as I feel like I should be.  Like making money or having a career that is super cool or knowing all the movies that are in the theatres right now or the newest music that has come out.  For crying out loud, I studied media, yet I have no clue what's going on in pop-culture.    

I enjoy different types of things.  Like talking on phone all night long with my brother, playing board games with my family, dropping by to see a friend I haven't seen for a while, putting my homework aside for a second to just listen to what somebody has to say, taking walks to photograph cool things, reading good books, going to church, laughing my can off at my baby brother and sister.  

I guess that the things I spend my time doing are the real and true indicators of my priorities.  It's true that I need to be more aware of a lot of things, but other things just can't seem to find a place in my life.  And that's okay, as long as I love the things I spend my time on.

Who cares if I'd much rather just sit in the park and talk than run around and look at all the old buildings.  Each of those things have their place, but I can still have a preference.
I've discovered that it doesn't matter what I love in life, just as long as I love something.
